    • Ways of Reading
      • The appearance of the text and page layout can be modified according to the capabilities of the reading system (font family and font size, spaces between paragraphs, sentences, words, and letters, as well as color of background and text)
      • This e-publication is accessible to the full extent that the file format and types of content allow, on a specific reading device, by default, without necessarily including any additions such as textual descriptions of images or enhanced navigation
      • All content can be read as read aloud speech or dynamic braille
      • Has alternative text descriptions for images
    • Conformance
    • Navigation
      • Table of contents to all chapters of the text via links
      • Elements such as headings, tables, etc. for structured navigation
      • Page list to go to pages from the print source version
    • Rich Content
      • Math formulas in accessible format (MathML)
    • Hazards
      • The publication contains no hazards
    • Product Content
      • Content includes any type of illustrations.
      • The primary content is text.
      • Content includes a significant number of actionable (clickable) web links to external content, downloadable resources, supplementary material, etc.
      • Content includes a significant number of actionable (clickable) cross-references, hyperlinked notes and annotations, or with other actionable links between largely textual elements (e.g., quiz/test questions, 'choose your own ending', etc.).
      • Content includes photographs, whether in a plate section / insert or not.
      • Content includes figures, diagrams, charts and/or graphs, including other 'mechanical' (i.e. non-photographic) illustrations.
      • Content includes images displayed in a specific order for the purpose of graphic storytelling or giving information (e.g. graphic novels, comics and manga). May include text integrated into the image (as speech and thought bubbles, textual 'sound' effects, captions etc.).
      • Content includes text within images, including text-as-text embedded in diagrams, charts, or within images containing speech balloons, thought bubbles, captions, etc.
      • Content includes chemical notations, formulae.
      • Content includes mathematical notations, formulae.
      • At least some text - including text within other images - is 'text as an image' (i.e., a picture of text).
    • Legal Considerations
      • No information is available
    • Additional Accessibility Information
      • Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
      • Page breaks included from the original print source

      • The body text is presented with a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 (or 3:1 for large/heading text)
      • Ultra-high contrast between text and background
      • E-publication includes basic navigation (usually less detailed than TOC-based navigation)
      • Where links, controls or buttons are included in the content, the purpose or functionality of each link, control or button is apparent from the associated text alone - or where it is unclear, separate link, control or button descriptions are provided
      • All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
      • Content provides explanations for unusual words, abbreviations, acronyms, idioms, jargon in an accessible form, such as glossaries, scripted pop-ups.
      • Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.
      • The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
